Chapter 230: High Fever
As he was struggling to guess what the words muttered from the villagers' mouths meant, he saw that in the next second, a slightly familiar female voice came from the other end of the miasma.
The kind of cautious temptation, inferiority, faintly with a little ecstatic arrogance, Qiu Xuan just heard the voice on that spaceship.
The figure walked out of the miasma surrounded by several people, and the villagers who were still fussing about the bullet holes just now talked to a few people for a moment, and then knelt down on one knee towards the figure. They muttered a language that Qiu Xuan didn't understand, and the figure was visibly stunned for a moment, and then began to respond in the same unfamiliar language.
Burn.
The witch from the ancient plane has always seemed to be a very inconspicuous existence.
There has never been a language barrier before, not because the languages between the small worlds are interconnected, but because there is a special magnetic field of connection between the executioner and the executioner, which is equivalent to everyone carrying an automatic translator. And one of the series of preparations that take place in the waiting space before opening the portal to reach a proving ground is to automatically load the universal language of the small world into the mind of each executioner.
She now does not understand the spoken language of the villagers, indicating that the language of the village of Lime is not a "lingua franca" and is rarely spoken. But Ran knew that the possibility that she was a villager in Lyme Village was ruled out, either because she had special props, or ...... She went specifically to learn the language.
Before the crew's spacecraft arrived in the rainforest, no one knew that their original filming location had been changed, and no one knew anything about the mysterious village.
That burning position is self-evident.
Qiu Xuan was squatting on the tree, since they had been here for quite some time, the miasma around them had already spread and climbed to their calves. The villagers said something, and then the man in the lead bowed deeply to Ran, and suddenly several villagers in cloth clothes around him took a few steps forward to tie up Ran, and carried them in the direction of the village.
There was no camera behind them, and it was thought that the camera in charge of following Ran had already met with an accident.
With an idea in his heart, Qiu Xuan stood up on the tree and said in a low voice, "Go." ”
They deliberately jumped away from the tree in a different direction, but now the miasma had climbed into a rather bad position. There were several times when Qiu Xuan jumped onto a low tree and was almost swallowed up by white smoke, but fortunately they were fast enough. But I don't know if it's a psychological effect, although it is covered by clothing, she always feels that the part of her neck that is shrouded in miasma begins to heat up.
In the last fifty meters, there were no tall trees near the village, and she turned back to Joe and gestured, signaling that she would rush over as fast as she could. As soon as I was briefly mentally prepared to jump into the white deep sea, suddenly a burst of fire began to appear on the edge of the thick miasma, and then the fire became bigger and bigger, and the angle of travel was like ...... Flamethrower?
"Qiu Xuan's side! Jump! ”
With a frozen, she jumped up from the trunk of the tree and fell into the narrow passage that had barely been cleared, the speed of the flame licking was very violent, but the speed at which the strange miasma condensed was even faster. Even as fast as she could, the miasma that had gathered quickly inevitably caught her clothes, and in the last few steps, she rolled on the spot and rolled into the edge of the village, her consciousness already on the verge of collapse.
When did it happen, at first I just felt that my skin was a little hot, but I didn't expect that since she was contaminated with this gas, every step of the way began to cause load pressure on her body, is this miasma really so toxic?
"Be careful." With the last bit of strength, grabbing Ethan's sleeve and saying this, Qiu Xuan's eyes darkened and fell into unconsciousness.
Ethan frowned and supported her, and suddenly there was a commotion at the entrance of the village, and a group of villagers in rough cloth clothes were carrying a woman tied to a wooden pillar towards her.
……
When Qiu Xuan woke up, she was so dazed that she thought she hadn't woken up.
His hands and feet were soft, and his body was cold, and only his head was as hot as a burn. Dizzily, she sat up from the bed and barely managed to take in her surroundings.
It was a simple but rough wooden house, and it looked like someone had moved it to the village.
She subconsciously reached out to touch the short knife in her cuff, but fortunately, the knife stayed there intact. Qiu Xuan tried to put her feet on the ground, and as soon as her muscles were softened, she knelt down, and subconsciously stepped forward with the photographer Qiao, and then paused in place again.
By the way, Joe, Joe is here too.
Qiu Xuan sucked her breath and squirmed herself to the bed like a worm, while still in the mood to think that it was okay now, people all over the world saw her squirming and kneeling.
She closed her eyes and reluctantly looked back at Joe, her gaze a little glazed. "Give me, can you see the previous footage?"
Joe visibly hesitated, but adjusted the camera in her hand to the time she had fallen before and handed it over. Although the contract did not say that the players could be shown past photos, they did not explicitly refuse.
Qiu Xuan pulled the camera a few times with her soft hand, remembered something and asked Qiao again. "By the way, cough, are you okay?"
Joe pursed his lips and looked over apologetically. The camera operator has prepared all kinds of invulnerable props or other life-saving means, which is also to ensure that they have a chance to survive and not leave every clip intact when they are in crisis with the player, but this kind of prop is also absolutely forbidden to be distributed to the player.
Qiu Xuan understood, and didn't ask anything angrily, and barely concentrated a little energy to watch the previous video.
After she lost consciousness, most of the camera focused on Ethan's slightly nervous and concerned face when he held her, thinking that these professional photographers must have a number of how to shoot to get the scene that the audience expects to see. But then, after Ran appeared, who was tied up and carried into the village by the villagers, something began to go wrong.
I saw that Jingchuan, who had arrived at the village early, angrily stepped forward to reason with the villagers, and only after amplifying his voice did he hear that he was not worried about the safety of Ran, but asked why he had promised not to hurt the cameraman, but still killed him and abandoned it in the woods.
The villagers reasoned with them in a language they didn't understand, and by the end of the argument, the angry Lyme villagers had already drawn their weapons and pointed them at them. But what is surprising is that the members of the production team led by Jingchuan actually began to back down, obviously the side with advanced technology and weapons, but it made people feel that they were afraid of these villagers.
Next, the camera shifts to Qiu Xuan, Ethan briefly explains the situation to Jingchuan, and then the latter casually waves him to take people directly to the spare room. Jingchuan carried her to the bed, didn't know what he stuffed into her mouth, and stared affectionately for a long time with a pretended contrived look. It was only when the production team sent someone to ask him to go out to shoot the exterior scenes, and he turned around three times and left "reluctantly".
Qiu Xuan suppressed the idea of beating Ethan, and then flipped through the video to find that less than ten minutes had passed since she came to her senses.
In other words, she fainted for about half an hour.
It's just that even if Ethan reached the village much faster than her, he would definitely inhale a poisonous miasma at the last fifty meters, so why didn't he seem to have anything to do? And what was that unknown object he stuffed himself?
As soon as she had a little thought about it, Qiu Xuan felt like her head had exploded again.
The body was cold and hot for a while, and her eyes were always loose and difficult to focus, and Joe still showed her the monitor on her wrist behind the camera as if she couldn't stand it. It reads: You have a fever, this is a side effect after inhaling the miasma, it is better to rest well.
How can I have time to rest now?
She hadn't fainted for long, and now maybe it was a critical moment outside, so she still had to go out and have a look.
After thinking about it, she called Xiaolu out and whispered a reminder to let her appear in human form.
In this way, people will only think that this is the dead servant who has signed some contract with her, and the one that is popular in the upper class here is similar to the intelligent humanoid AI after entering the command. Even though the executioner might be suspicious, no one would think about Wendigo.
"Tsk, why did you make such a drip?"
Ever since Qiu Xuan spent a lot of money to buy her a brain that can connect to the desperate star road network for fear that Xiaolu would be bored and sick in the necklace alone, this person's accent has begun to become a mystery. Sometimes it's muttering in the dialect of the Western Fantasy Country, and more often — after Qiu Xuan probably mentioned to her about the planet she used to live on — the more energetic Wendigo begins to gather all the information about that plane, and maybe some of the information is compiled by a senior executioner from the northern region, in short, when a person with this accent appears in the crowd, then the whole crowd will be led astray en masse.
We often refer to this situation as the avalanche effect (?). )。
Qiu Xuan's whole person was like a lump of mud that had been scattered from it, and no bones were rotten on Xiaolu's body. The woman with delicate makeup on her face looks disgusted, oh yes, speaking of which, Qiu Xuan also spent a lot of money to buy her a complete set of cosmetics and skin care products, so when she was chased and killed like a dead dog outside, Xiaolu often had to stay in her necklace space that had almost been transformed into a luxury villa to live a delicate lady life.
Qiu Xuan: I sometimes dream of swapping roles with this woman :)
She was carried by Xiaolu to the door, the wooden pillar that had been erected in the clearing of the village, and the witch called Burning was now standing in front of the pillar, and in front of her were the villagers who were kneeling eagerly with wild words in their mouths.
Ran lowered her eyelashes as she watched as if she had really become a messenger from the gods in their mouths, to guide people back to the other side of redemption.
In the building similar to the walled building in Lyme Village, many people who were standing by and watching like her looked at it coldly, and Jingchuan's elegant expression, which had been hidden by the transparent frame, suddenly distorted for a moment. In the dead corner of the shooting, he tilted his head slightly to say something to the communicator on his wrist, and after the conversation, a smile hooked up on the corner of his mouth, and he looked quietly again.
Xiaolu: "What's the matter, I haven't seen enough harm on the Fool's Boat before, and I'm dragging it up now just to see them rectify this feudal superstition?" ”
"That girl called Ran," Qiu Xuan said with almost her entire body hanging on top of her, and gasped with difficulty. "Something is wrong with her, it's likely that she is plotting with Lyme, and I suspect she is in league with the people who went to great lengths to get us to Lyme."
Xiaolu: "The little girl still has two faces. ”
"Qiu Xuan! How did you get up! At this moment, Ethan, who was standing on the other side of what resembled a walled building, noticed this and hurriedly ran around the crowd. Go back and your poison isn't completely healed, is this ......? ”
"The android I bought before, my AI life steward."
Ethan: "...... I can't see that you are quite interested in the quality of life. ”
He looked at Xiaolu several times with an unspeakable expression, and the latter let him look at it without changing his face, his eyelashes lifted up as he saw the man next to him who was holding a camera to shoot at Ethan.
"Yo, Lao Qin, long time no see!"
Inexplicably, his name seemed to be known to everyone Qin Jiuyuan: "......? ”
Ethan glanced between the two for a moment, "You guys...... Know? ”
"Maybe the circuit board is a little short-circuited, she often recognizes people randomly, and the factory settings are not set properly." Qiu Xuan interrupted them, and at this time it was already a little difficult to see the figure in front of them. She closed her eyes and her steps floated for a moment, but fortunately, she was hanging on Xiaolu so no one could see it, "Did Jingchuan say anything just now?" ”
"No, everyone is watching the villagers follow the burning. Slowly, you go back to bed and rest now, and I'll just leave it to me. Ethan said and reached out to Xiaolu, who glanced at him and picked him up and put him back on the bed.
Ethan squinted his eyes at Xiaolu's back, and walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"I arrived early, and when I saw that you didn't catch up, I thought something might have happened, so I asked Lily to borrow a flamethrower to come to you, but I didn't expect it to be late, you inhaled too much miasma."
Lily, the woman with the fox mask.
Qiu Xuan closed her eyes and listened to him, and her barely mushy brain began to analyze.
"I have a medicine to remove toxins here, I took one myself and fed one to you, but the side effect of this miasma after clearing is high fever and weakness for several days, and I myself have nothing to do because of the short time. There is no way to do it now, so I can only try to avoid you from fighting, but don't worry, I will protect you. ”
